For the second year in a row Stanford is providing grants of up to $500 to faculty members
to defray the cost of bringing prospective graduate students for campus visits under a program designed to increase ethnic and gender diversity.
….
The applicants may include members of an ethnicity that is underrepresented in an academic field; women who are underrepresented in a field, such as the physical sciences and engineering; or people who would be the first members of their family to attend graduate school.
Thus under this program the Hispanic son of two Ph.D. biochemists or the black daughter of two physicians could be given $500 each to visit Stanford.
Gender diversity??
Sheesh.
wow, what an outrage!
